"Next up is Rajkumar Bhadrashal of Devpur!!!" The commencor announced

It was Nagnajati's swayamvar and The King had set condition for the marriage of Nagnajiti that her husband should win her by defeating his seven ferocious bulls in combat. However, no prince who challenged to do the task could control the seven bulls to win the hand of Nagnajiti. 

When Krishna came to know of the challenge, he set out for Kosala Kingdom with a large retinue. As Krishna approached Nagnajit in his court, the king rose from his throne and honoured Krishna with gifts and welcomed him warmly to Kosala. Naganjiti was also very joyful to see Krishna and prayed that Krishna be her husband. 

Both the king and his daughter are aware of Krishna's divinity. Nagnajit worshiped Krishna and asks the purpose of his visit. When Krishna declared that he wished to marry Nagnajiti, the King stated, "There is no better husband for my daughter, but I have taken a vow that I will marry my daughter to a brave prince who would bring the seven bulls under control." 

The King also praised Krishna's valour and told him that he could easily tame the seven bulls which had almost mauled the other princes who had tried.

Upon listening to the king, Krishna entered the arena expanding into seven forms and easily put a noose around the seven bulls, humbling the bulls. King Naganajit was pleased with the outcome and his daughter was delighted to take Krishna as her husband. The marriage was celebrated with pomp and grandeur. The king presented Krishna with a dowry of 10,000 cows, 9,000 elephants, 900,000 chariots, 90,000,000 horses, 3,000 elegantly dressed young maids and 9,000,000,000 male servants.

 Finally, Krishna and Nagnajiti departed towards Dwarka, accompanied by their army to protect them. On this way, they were attacked by the princes who had lost in Nagnajit's bull challenge. Krishna's army yield by his clan warriors and Arjun defeated the princes and chased them away. Krishna then entered Dwarka with all glory accompanied by his wife Naganajiti and lived happily.
